Why did you first start playing this game?

I used to play Runescape and Adventure Quest super casually but I had some people that I knew that began to play a game called MapleStory and the simplicity of the game was what made it click for me. I remember playing sometime before/after the release of the Khaini release, I also remember being so addicted that I was making the MapleStory jump sound because the sound was just so pleasant to me when I was sitting in my desk in class. (Hopefully nobody thought I was mentally unstable??????)

I've been playing this game for way too long.
